Northstar has had a long tradition within the plastics industry but it wasn’t until 2013 that our organization made significant capital investments in the trade.  We now operate two granulating lines and one shredding line to process post-industrial HDPE, LDPE, PP, PS, and PET into 3/8″ regrind usable by our customer base.

Northstar is a processor and broker of the following grades in all market conditions:

HDPE Injection Grade

HDPE Fractional Melt

HDPE High Molecular Weight

LDPE Extrusion Grade

PE Extrusion / PP Injection Blend

PP Injection Grade

 

PET Bottle Grade

PS – General Purpose and High Impact

Polyurethane Bales

Our state-of-the-art post-industrial plastic processing facility, which is separated from our fiber operation, has the capability of handling the above grades of plastic in every form.  We can process conventional items such as parts or films on our Cumberland granulators or more difficult items such as large 1,000 lb. purge chunks or bulky pallets on our Vecoplan RG-52 shredding line.
